soak IT UP! As we inch closer to the other side of the pandemic, I’m having a more-is-more moment. The sun is shining, I’m fully vaccinated, and I want all the things. It’s still early, I realize, and I’m still wearing my mask and washing my hands and keeping an eye on the news. But I’m more than ready to pull out my floppy sun hat and spend a leisurely Saturday morning perusing the freshest finds at the farmers markets, lingering in the aisles of grocery stores and specialty shops, squeezing the peaches and smelling the cheeses, and cooking whatever inspires me for all the people I’ve missed as they, too, start to widen their social bubbles. I’m not jetting anywhere just yet. But I’ve plotted a few road trips…

In fact, milk and other dairy products are high in vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus—the trifecta of nutrients that work together to build strong teeth. If you’re drinking 3 cups of milk a day, you’re well on your way to the recommended 1,000 milligrams of calcium. But it’s smart to spread your servings throughout the day—the body can only absorb about 500 milligrams of calcium at a time. And if you prefer something more spoonable, promising research shows that probiotics (good bacteria) like those in yogurt and kefir may fight off inflammation and bad breath caused by harmful bacteria. If dairy isn’t your thing, snack on phosphorus-rich almonds and peanuts. Add in white beans, such as navy beans. (One cup provides 13 percent of your recommended daily calcium.) And…

Repeat to make desired number of picks. Arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle each with 1 tsp. blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese and black pepper. 3 Prosciutto and…

WINTER Vs. SUMMER SQUASH There are more than 100 varieties of squash, all part of the gourd family. They’re divided into two categories: summer and winter squash. Summer squash is—you guessed it—ready in summertime. It includes zucchini, pattypan, and straightneck and crookneck yellow varieties. This earlier harvesting time yields squash with tender, juicy flesh and thin skin. Winter squash, such as butternut, acorn, and pumpkin, is plucked from the ground in the fall. Their thick rinds keep their firm flesh fresh well into the winter. when buying AND storing Opt for medium-size summer squash unless otherwise specified in the recipe. Typically, the larger the squash, the more fibrous and less flavorful it will be. Choose firm squash with tight skin that has no bruising or nicks. Give them a gentle squeeze.…

Though I’d known of their existence for many years, I wanted my first taste of furūtsu sando to be as authentic as possible. So I grabbed a bite on a trip to Tokyo in early 2020, and it did not disappoint. You can find these in convenience stores and snack shops all over Japan. They’re a lightly sweet treat for kids—and kids at heart.

Yes, it’s Tito, like the alcohol. Tito is named after the founder of Tito’s Vodka, whom Tito’s dad, Bill, once had the pleasure of meeting. This issue’s featured pet is 8-year-old Tito, a laid-back English bulldog who lives in Phoenix, Arizona. English bulldogs are the funniest, most loyal, stubborn, lazy, joyful, gaseous, life-of-the-party, loudest-snoring, proudest dog breeds—with absolutely no sense of personal space and an “I don’t give a crud” cat-like attitude—that you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Tito is no exception. He loves to go to the office, play in 30-second spurts (it’s very tiring to play!), eat snacks, go for rides, meet new people, have his picture taken, and be scratched or rubbed all over his chubby pink, white, red, and black polka-dotted body. He…

Sandwich It Serve ice cream sandwiched between two cookies (we used the Cracked Sugar Cookie recipe). Roll or dip in sprinkles, nuts, or chocolate to take them over the top. “I use the Cuisinart 1½-quart ice cream maker and I highly recommend it. The freezer bowl needs to be frozen a day in advance, so plan ahead. The mixing paddle aerates the mixture to a wonderful consistency, and mixing in any nuts or chocolate chips at the end works perfectly.”– DEB CROWELL (@Deb C) Float On Create a float station using a variety of ice creams, sorbets, bubbly beverages, and toppings. Footed glasses and paper straws add to the fun. “The Zeroll scoop has a liquid-filled, heat-conductive handle that makes scooping and releasing ice cream easy. It also makes perfectly round…
